Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, is set to become Mexico's first female president.
Her inauguration marks a historic moment for the country, which has long been dominated by male leadership. Sheinbaum campaigned on a platform of continuing social welfare programs and addressing inequality, following in the footsteps of her predecessor.
As she takes office, she faces significant challenges, including economic issues and relations with the U.S. Her presidency is seen as a major step forward for gender equality in Mexico's political landscape.
